Man Hears Leashed Pets Are Allowed In Store — So He Brings His Horse

There’s something special about a business that allows pets inside — but one Tractor Supply store in Oklahoma has gone above and beyond.

On Monday, Robin Morris was shopping at the chain’s location in Elk City when a man walked into the shop wearing a cowboy hat, chaps and boots. His attire wasn’t what struck Morris as unusual, though; it was the man’s request.

“[The] gentleman walks into Tractor Supply and says, ‘I'm a senior, here to buy feed for my senior horse. Can he come in?’” Morris said later on Facebook.

Sure enough, the man’s horse was outside the store patiently waiting. Tractor Supply allows any pet into the store as long as they’re on a leash — so a horse wearing a bridle surely fits the bill.

The manager welcomed the pair inside, and the man was clearly glad to get his gentle friend into the cool air-conditioned store.
